We observed supernova SN 2017eaw in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, 17 months after its discovery. Of course it faded really a lot, but it could be detected. Here it is our image. The...

Two months after our last visit, we observed again NGC 6946 and its supernova SN 2017eaw, finding it at mag. 15.1. It is slowly saying us goodbye . The image above is the average...

Supernova SN 2017eaw continues to shine in its wonderful host galaxy, NGC 6946, at mag. 13.0, assuming our CCD images. And it is going to celebrate its three months since its was discovered. The...

As promised, we continue our follow-up observations of NGC 6946 and its supernova SN 2017eaw. The object was found at mag. 13.1, a little fainter than two weeks earlier. Is this an hint that...

We continue monitoring supernova SN 2017eaw in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946. Discovered almost two months ago, its brightness is still at its maximum. The image above is the average of twenty, 90-seconds exposures, remotely...

At Virtual Telescope, we continue to follow-up the bright supernova SN 2017eaw in NGC 6946. We have found the supernova still shining close to its maximum of light. The image above comes from the...

For sure, NGC 6946 is one of the most famous galaxies out there. Its beauty is one of the reasons, but there is another one: it hosted the largest number of supernova events ever...
